Curriculog Submission Deadlines for 2026-2027

Curriculog and UWG's catalog management system, Acalog, are directly linked for updates to curriculum in the catalogs. Curriculog must close at the end of the academic year so that a new working catalog can be created and then synchronized back to Curriculog. Proposals in Curriculog that require SACSCOC and/or USG notification or approval take significant time to process. New programs and program changes can only become effective in a Fall term and should be submitted at least 9–12 months in advance.

Before submitting a proposal for a new academic program through Curriculog, departments must complete the New Academic Program Concept Proposal form. The concept proposal provides an opportunity to obtain feedback from Academic Affairs before beginning the full proposal review process.

Submission Deadlines

New Programs, Program Revisions, and Stand-Alone Certificates Requiring USG or SACSCOC Approval

Proposals for all new programs, certain revised programs, and all new stand-alone certificates that require USG or SACSCOC notification or approval must be on the Faculty Senate agenda for the January 2027 meeting or earlier. Proposals must already be approved by either the Undergraduate Programs Committee (UPC) or the Graduate Programs Committee (GPC).

Curriculum Proposals Requiring Faculty Senate Approval Only
Curriculum proposals that require Faculty Senate notification or approval but do not require USG or SACSCOC notification or approval must be on the Faculty Senate agenda for the March 2027 meeting or earlier. Proposals must already be approved by either the Undergraduate Programs Committee (UPC) or the Graduate Programs Committee (GPC).

Curriculum Proposals Requiring Provost Approval Only
Curriculum proposals that require only the Provost's approval and do not require Faculty Senate notification or approval must be submitted to the Provost in Curriculog by Friday, April 23, 2027. Proposals must have completed the college- or school-level review and approval process before this date and be routed to the Provost for review.

Please Note: Any proposal that has not met the applicable deadlines will be returned to the originator when Curriculog closes and must be resubmitted after Curriculog reopens in August 2027.

For questions, please contact Rebecca DeMayo, Interim Director of Accreditation and Assessment (rdemayo@westga.edu) or Dr. Diana Cheshire, Assistant Vice Provost for Academic Affairs (dcheshire@westga.edu).
